Housing new pair

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding two new cresteds(babies) i picked up yesterday at the Raliegh Reptile show. I have the book Rhacodactylus, and i have read the section on quarentine. My question is this, I bought a Red flame from LLLReptile and another from a breeder named "Osborne's Exotics" and the two lil guys are in seperate cups right now til i get back to my home town in Charlotte, NC. I was thinking of putting them both in a Kritter keeper, do you all think this is a big gamble as far as the fact that the two are from different breeders? Just curious as to how many Kritter Keepers i should get. Another ? is my apartment stays gets to about 68 or so at night, and only to 72 during the day. I bought an under tank heater, would it heat the kritter cages up to hot if partially put under one of them?? Just trying to get ideas before i go out and get the things i need. Thanks for reading my novel of a question, Look forward to talking to you all.

Get two Kritter Keepers. It will be worth the extra couple of dollars. As for temps, they are a little low, you can try tp place the Kritter Keepers partially on the heater. I have never done this. If you do it, watch the temps carefully. Good Luck, and welcome
